My sister in law has PCOS and has concieved to beautiful children (ages: 5 years old and 8 months old). Be sure to see your endocrinologist and let him/her know you are TTC and they will dose you and get you started on everything.
Don't be sad, be open minded, it can happen, it just might be a little harder, but your body is a vessel, you can do it :-)
LOTS of ladies are able to conceive with PCOS....and even if you can't (but I think you will) that does NOT make you a failure...would you think of him as a failure if he had wonky sperm? no..its not under his control.
There is nothing you did to bring this on and there is nothing you COULD have done to prevent it...
That being said...do exactly what cowgirl said..work with your docs and see what your options are and whats the best thing you can do to get preggers...we're all here pullin for you
and stop that failure talk...its nonsense!!!

I feel like that a lot too. I want nothing more than to give my husband a child. But I look at it like this, at least now we know what the problem is, and we know that there is hope out there for us to have a child, we just need to work a little harder for it. And when we finally do have a child, it'll be because we earned the right to call ourselves parents. We will deserve that child, and we'll be better parents for it.
Don't feel like a failure hun. When I found out I had PCOS, all I could do was cry. But I got pregnant and carried full term and then some! lol. Then I found out that my first pregnancy stretched out my already misshapen uterus. I was diagnosed with a bicornuate uterus, low success in getting pregnant and a high risk of losing baby in the second or even third trimester. We both cried. It's hard for both of us. I was told that I would need surgery if I wanted more kids. (We were already ttc for about 15 months at that time) Then I asked them to just put me on the fertility drugs I used when I got pregnant with DD... it worked.I am now 18 weeks and everything is looking good so far. There is still that risk, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.
I guess what I'm trying to say, is that where there is a will there is a way... and if you want this bad enough, you and your DH, BOTH, will figure this out together. Hang in there.
Morning Sickness or the Flu?
